Chapter 82: Thriving
Li Fang counted the number of buns sold today, and couldn't help but say happily: "Little sister, I guess we sold many buns today?" Today is a bumper harvest, if only every day was like today, we can earn a lot of silver! ”
"It's a total of 110 buns, and we made two large pots of porridge and soup that were not enough to sell, so we used to cook some more, and there were only about two bowls left, and today's business is really good." Before Li Yun could answer, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but say it.
"Of course. To be honest, today really dragged the blessing of the Wang Foreman, if it weren't for him, how could he bring us such a good business? By the way, I'd like to discuss something with you, and see who can help you find three or four reliable people to help with the laundry, and pay by the piece. Li Yun thought that she not only sold steamed buns, but also collected clothes, washed clothes, and sewed clothes.
Li Fang felt strange, weren't these people locals? Why do you need someone to help you do your laundry? What does their daughter-in-law do? "Xiao Yun, didn't you say that Foreman Wang was working for a certain good man? Why do you need someone to help them do their laundry? ”
Foreman Wang said that most of these workers were masters invited from other places, because local people could not build satisfactory houses, so they had to go to other places to invite people to come, and Foreman Wang himself was not a local, he was also transferred from other places. So there is no way to wash their clothes, which also provides us with an opportunity to make money. Li Yun feels that sometimes opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and not all people can seize the opportunity.
"But Xiao Yun, can we be busy? How much money does a dress make? Li Fang felt that she was still focusing on the bun shop, so she didn't care about other things, there were more ways to make money, did she still have to try? People only have that strength, so what's the good of splitting yourself in half and getting so tired?
Li Yun didn't plan to make much money on washing clothes, and they didn't wash them themselves, they were responsible for collecting the clothes and sending them to others to wash, and when the time came, they were paying them two pennies for washing a piece of clothing, ironing one penny, and sewing one penny.
Aunt Zhao also wanted to join in, but Li Yun saw that she was working so hard, so she didn't let her do it. "Auntie, look at the fact that you have to help in the shop every day, it's hard enough, if you go to wash your clothes again, do you want to die? What if you get tired? If you want me to say that you should have a good rest, the business of our shop is good, and the salary will slowly rise in the future, if you have any requirements, just mention it, and the fifth sister and I are not unreasonable people. ”
Li Fang also persuaded: "Auntie, my little sister and I treat you as family, it's not that we don't want you to make more money, and we also know that your family life is not good, but people's energy is so much, how can you do everything?" ”
Aunt Zhao felt that the two sisters, Li Yun and Li Fang, were like daughters to her, they didn't have a little bit of the boss's arrogance, and they couldn't be better for her, the last time they made some food in the shop, they didn't finish eating, and their sisters let themselves take it back, there was a lot of meat in it, and they felt that they didn't want to go, and they didn't know how to repay others.
"I don't even know what to say, you two sisters are too good to me, I will do a good job in the future, I hope that our business will be more prosperous soon!" Aunt Zhao won't say anything, but this person is real, what to say, never like others, flamboyant.
"Aunt Zhao, I still have something to ask you for help, you go back and see if there is anyone you know, who is more reliable and can, honestly recommend them to come over to help wash clothes, wash a piece of clothing and give them a penny, do you think this will be done? The sewing work will be handed over to the fifth sister and Aunt Zhao, and I will be responsible for ironing. "Li Yun's division of labor is also quite reasonable, her needlework is not good, so she can't do this thing.
Speaking of clothes, Li Yun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that Doudou's clothes were patch after patch, and her clothes were the same, the last time her mother's family came, seeing that their mother and son were wearing so pitiful, she couldn't help but bring them a lot of old clothes from home, new clothes need money, old clothes are nothing, as long as they can be worn, but her needlework is really not good, so some clothes are relatively big for Doudou and need to be changed to wear them, but she can't do it.
Li Fang looked at Li Yun and couldn't help but sigh: "Little sister, you know the importance of needlework now, before my mother forced you to learn, you cut corners and let you embroider a mandarin duck to play in the water, but you embroidered a female duck." ”
Aunt Zhao couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect Li Yun to be so smart and so bad at needlework.
Li Yun's face was a little red, "This is not what I thought, I want to learn it now, you don't know that last time my mother asked my eldest brother to give me a lot of old clothes, mine is okay, Doudou's are basically big, all have to be changed, but I didn't get it done well for most of the day, I picked up a lot in a fit of anger, and sewed it a little with a needle, but it still doesn't look good, Doudou is disgusted and unwilling to wear it, disgusted that my needlework is not good, it just so happens that our buns are also sold out, you can help me, Otherwise, Doudou will have two clothes to change and wear how bad. ”
Li Fang looked at Li Yunchu's pitiful little appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Did you bring the clothes?" Show it to me, and I'll help you change it. ”
"Xiao Yun, if you want to learn, I can teach you, to be honest, there are really not many people in this mother-in-law's family who don't know needlework, the clothes, trousers, and shoes on the soles of the feet are inseparable from needlework, this job is not good, you have to learn hard this time." Aunt Zhao said earnestly.
Li Yunxin wants to help wash clothes, there should be more than just workers on the construction site, eighty percent of the scholars in this academy also need to wash clothes, can ask Aunt Zhao to help find three or four people tomorrow, Foreman Wang brought the clothes over, she posted an advertisement for washing clothes at the door of the shop by the way, but someone will naturally come to ask when they see it, so it's almost the same.
Zhao Sheng did not return to the capital in the town, but inked here, "Master, the emperor urged you to go back again?" Why do you stay in this place all the time? What's good here? You can't compare anything with the capital, and the mother-in-law here is not as good-looking as the capital? ”
Zhao Sheng didn't know why he didn't want to leave here, as if everything here felt familiar to him, many things seemed to be the same as those in his memory, he always dreamed of a woman recently, and he couldn't see her face clearly, but he heard her keep calling his brother, don't go! Every time he tried to catch it, he woke up from the dream. Memories have also become blurry.
